Tate McRae- So Close To What (February 21,2025) Album

Yay more baby singing

 

another album where the physical and digital tracklists are going to be different. Streaming is 15 tracks, physical has 11 of those plus two others not on streaming

 

While overall this feels like... exactly what would you would expect, I do think it has some of her best material, she's honed in a bit more here. Still a LOT of songs that are the same ol same ol, but "Revolving door" and "bloodonmyhands" are standouts for me. "purple lace bra" is pretty good

 

Yeah, this is pretty much the same feelings I have for most of what she does - great production, a couple of bangers and great hooks and a lot of filler and vocals where I can’t understand half of what she’s singing.

 

"Means I Care" is stuck in my head.

 

She added a new track, changed the cover art, and re-arranged the track list

 

This feels like a a couple steps behind what the best pop acts are doing right now. I hear zero personality in this music.

 

There’s 2 more songs available through her website if you buy the $5 digital deluxe edition. Only available for 72 hours

 

Is it just the two that were exclusive to the physical release?

 

There’s a new IDER album out if folks are looking for some more DIY pop music.

 

She changed the album cover back lol

 

Apparently fans figured out her signature on some of her merch is forged.

 

whoof

 

I thought it was common knowledge that most "Signed" CDs are just copies of signatures lol

 

well, depends on the context and who and such, but yes it is a common practice unfortunately.... a bad one

 

From Reddit.

I think (sadly) robo-signing is a fairly accepted practice. I don’t know about just straight up signing some and letting some (I assume) intern sign the rest. In a just world, they’d just have video proof to show authenticity, especially if fans are shelling out an extra $20-50 for the signature.

 

That's pretty damm blatant

 

Went from thinking this was just fine, kind of basic and outdated (which the latter two are still true imo) to loving this in a short amount of time

 

Are her last two albums similar to this one?

 

Yes, they're all basically the exact same album, she's a very stagnant artist haha

 

I think she's just slowly moving away from ballads
